Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Grill Me

HG's Grilly Girl Cheesy Turkey & Bacon 'Wich


We LOVE hot gooey sandwiches, but the ones sold at fast-food chains are pretty much always bad news. DIY, people! What's easier to make than a sandwich? Whip up our Grilly Girl Cheesy Turkey & Bacon 'Wich ASAP...

Ingredients:
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/2 tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp. sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
1/8 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 slices light bread
2 oz. reduced-sodium lean turkey breast slices
1 slice fat-free cheddar cheese
1 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown), divided

Directions:
Cook bacon according to package instructions, either in the microwave or in a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray. Once cool enough to handle, break or cut bacon in half and set aside.

To make the sauce, combine mayo, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Mix well. Spread sauce on one slice of bread and top with bacon, turkey, and cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top, and press gently to seal. Spread 1/2 tsp. butter on the upward-facing slice of bread.

With the buttered side down, place sandwich in a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray. Then spread remaining 1/2 tsp. butter on the upward-facing bread slice. Bring the skillet to medium-high heat on the stove. Cook for 2 minutes. Gently flip and cook for 1 additional minute, or until both sides are hot and toasty. Slice in half or bite right in!
